UNSPSC 50623711: Non GMO venetian italian garlic purees

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO venetian italian garlic. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50623711 Non GMO venetian italian garlic purees is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom tier of the taxonomy. State and local governments procure garlic purees and related specialty food products under this code as components of broader institutional food supply contracts for state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, schools, and county service departments. The recent opportunities block shows no dedicated solicitations for garlic purees alone; instead, the code appears tagged on multi-line-item consumable food RFPs and IFBs where garlic purees may represent one or two line items among dozens spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies are predominantly state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois), school nutrition programs (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), and county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). Work being solicited includes delivery of shelf-stable and prepared food products to institutional cafeterias, canteens, and food service operations, with emphasis on USDA-graded compliance, specification conformance, and seven-day or 72-hour delivery windows to named facilities.

The geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Illinois, with Texas appearing most active through multiple HHSC and state hospital solicitations (Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers, and supplemental food contracts statewide). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (bids due October 23, 2026), which encompasses 22 line items of prepared foods and supplies with F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (quotes due October 19, 2026) including canned proteins and sauces; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic distribution areas (response due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum). Pricing in these solicitations is typically firm and fixed on a unit basis, with all-inclusive delivery costs, and awards are made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders with demonstrated past performance on similar contracts. Vendor qualification requirements consistently include three to five verifiable references, general liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000, E-Verify compliance, and debarment certifications.
